Description D'juan McDonald (domhnall) 2017-08-29 00:46:58 UTC 
From ${URL}:

The C++ symbol demangler routine in cplus-dem.c in libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (excessive memory allocation and application crash) via a crafted file, as demonstrated by a call from the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd).

2.29 only just got keyworded, so let's give it some waiting time.
Comment 2 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2017-10-04 10:08:30 UTC 
From upstream: 

  This is a bug in the C++ demangler, which is part of the libiberty sources.
  These sources are managed by the GCC project, so please could you refile
  this bug report with the GCC bugzilla system ?  Thanks.
